[WEB4LIB] PowerPoint 2000 and Saving to the Web

[Gina Minks]

Hi Donald,

I was fighting with PP2000 earlier this month on this issue.  The only thing
I could find on the frame/no-frame issue was on the Microsoft Product
Support pages:

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q237/4/02.ASP

Basically this states that "There is no way to disable the frame pages
layout for a Microsoft PowerPoint 2000 Web presentation, as you can in
Microsoft PowerPoint 7.0 for Windows 95, or Microsoft PowerPoint 97." but
does offer a workaround that "hides the unwanted frames" but does not
disable them.

I hope this helps and if you do find a way to really get rid of frames
completely - please pass it on!!
-Gina

I recently installed Office 2000. Much to my dismay, I now find that when I
save PowerPoint presentations in HTML, PP2K automatically inserts frames.
I'm sure some <<Equus asinus>> at Microsoft considers this an improvement
over the earlier versions of PP, but I don't.

Anybody know how to save PP2K presentations as HTML without frames? I
checked PP help and looked at all the PP Web options but couldn't find an
answer to my question. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
